Fixing to walk over to the watch party downtown Team Tuohy for individual title and let's gooo NAU men and women
Valby wins the 6K at 18:55.2 Looks like NC St wins the team title at 123 points with NAU second at 124
Elise Stearns runs her worst race of the year and it probably cost NAU the title Incredible race from Valby Tuohy 5th at 19:23
Habtom Samuel vs Graham Blanks for the individual title the last K with Blanks pulling away, winning the 10K at 28:37.7 OSU with what has to be one of the best team races ever to claim the team title. OSU went 4, 8, 10, 12 and 15 compared to 5, 6, 18, 20 and 22 for NAU
Absolutely dusted Tuohy today. I’ve seen reports she was sick but idk, Parker kinda just broke the field early.
Graham Blanks with a collegiate indoor record in the 5K at BU....13:03.78 Men's and women's 3K/5K top finishers Spoiler
Alyson Churchill was 22nd at nationals for FSU and is transferring to NAU Karrie Baloga leaving Colorado after one semester to run for Mike Smith as well. She was the 2023 Champs Sports XC national champion Colorado needs to fire Mark Wetmore like yesterday
NICO YOUNG first sub-4 minute mile at 7,000 feet in collegiate history. 3:57.33 converts to 3:48.39 at sea level feel like a total jackass for not being there last night
Alyson went to my high school. She was a prodigy coming out of Lincoln before she transferred to Chiles. Seems like shes finally healthy. Great get for a single grad transfer year
Terrier Classic at BU this weekend should be super fun to follow Lotta elite dudes running the 5K edit, looks like the OAC guys (Nuguse and Klecker) aren't in the same heat as the Nike guys (Kincaid and Nur) which is a major bummer Spoiler U.S. indoor 3000m and mile record holder Yared Nuguse will be stepping up in distance for his first indoor 5000m race at Friday’s John Thomas Terrier Classic at Boston University. Woody Kincaid, who set the current indoor American record of 12:51.61 at this meet last year, is also entered. Here’s what you need to know: – Last year, Kincaid took down Grant Fisher’s U.S. indoor record of 12:53.73 with a 26.71s final lap to win 12:51.61. Just two hours before that, Nuguse ran 7:28.24 to break Galen Rupp’s U.S. indoor 3000m record of 7:30.16. – Nuguse owns a 5000m personal best of 13:40.62 from the 2021 Raleigh Relays as his only career race above 3000m on the track. – Much of the field will be targeting the 2024 Olympic standard of 13:05.00. – Nuguse will be joined by his On Athletics Club teammates Joe Klecker, Mario Garcia Romo, Jonas Raess, George Beamish, Morgan McDonald. Klecker ran 12:54.99 to finish second behind Kincaid in last year’s Terrier 5000m. Raess was third in 13:10.96. – Kincaid will also have a training partner in the race as World Championship finalist Abdihamid Nur returns to Boston University since Dec. 2021, when he ran 13:22.24 as a sophomore at Northern Arizona University. – Sam Atkin, who ran 7:31.97 at this meet last year to break Mo Farah’s indoor 3000m British record at this meet last year and then ran 13:03.64 for 5000m, is entered. – George Mills will be making his indoor 5000m debut. Last summer, he ran 13:18.33 in France. – 2022 NCAA 10,000m champion Dylan Jacobs, who ran 13:11.01 at last year’s race for fourth place will make his professional debut. – Last month, Harvard’s Graham Blanks ran 13:03.78 for the NCAA 5000m record. Stanford’s Ky Robinson and Northern Arizona’s Nico Young are entered for Friday’s race. Young is coming off a 3:57.33 at the Lumberjack Team Challenge in Flagstaff, Arizona, which converts to an altitude-adjusted time of 3:48.71. – Due to the depth of the entries, it would not be too surprising if some of the top talent gets split into two fast sections. In February 2022, you may recall Grant Fisher breaking the American record and leading Moh Ahmed and Marc Scott under 13:00. Emmanuel Bor and Sam Atkin also broke 13:05 in that race. Woody Kincaid was in a separate heat and ran 13:05.56 to win his section – which would’ve been good enough for sixth place in Fisher’s heat. The goal by organizers is for two sections with balanced depth to chase the Olympic standard. At the moment, the hope is two sections will be paced between 7:50-7:52 through 3000m. Last year, Klecker and Kincaid came through 3000m in 7:48. Spoiler https://citiusmag.com/articles/yared-nuguse-woody-kincaid-headline-mens-5000m-bu
Nico Young just set the collegiate indoor 5K record 12:57.14 #4 on the All-time US Indoor "Short Track" List 1) Kincaid 12:51.61 (Jan 27, 2023) 2) Fisher 12:53.73 (Feb 12,2022) 3) Klecker 12:54.99 (Jan 27, 2023) 4) Young 12:57.14 (Jan 26, 2024) there are so many awesome young American distance dudes right now Spoiler
Molly Seidel not running at the US Olympic marathon trials this weekend because of a knee injury Might be a good idea to find a new coach since she's always injured
cool that they did the course on the ‘real Orlando’ side vs just doing it at Disney or that side of town. looked nice, perfect weather
Millrose Games tomorrow https://citiusmag.com/articles/millrose-games-preview-2024 she set the Big Sky & NAU 3K record last night in Seattle at 8:55.02 pretty excited to see how the NAU men do at Indoor Nationals. Nico is obviously in world class shape right now. But Aaron Las Heras, Colin Sahlman, Theo Quax should score some points too. And Drew Bosley ran last night so he's getting back into shape. Could get on the podium with that group
wtf I'll blame the super bowl but can't believe I needed to hear about it on TMB and not the many many sports outlets I follow on twitter
M/W Indoor T&F rankings one week out from nationals in Boston NAU men seem like a real contender based solely on our incredible distance group Spoiler
World indoors were super interesting for American middle distance running. Of course you have to mention some of the world elite weren’t there, but this was a good haul: Men’s 800m gold Women’s 3000m gold Women’s 1500m silver and bronze Men’s 1500m silver and bronze Men’s 3000m silver
Geordie Beamish with the 1500M victory was nice to see Stoked for this weekend granted I won't really be able to follow in real time
DVR'd all 3 days and skimmed thru them yesterday. Noah ran the 4x4 because he said he wants to earn his way on that team in Paris which is fascinating and I'm not sure how I feel about that but he's a freak add it's his choice...Tbf, he looked pretty good on his leg. Left just the right amount in the tank it seemed. Ran 49.something as 3rd leg. Christian Coleman cemented his legacy as best starting sprinter ever imo. Dude is what you dream of having as a first leg in a 4x1. Tara Davis-Woodhall is jumping with some serious spring now. She's always shown incredible promise and she now seems to be finally scratching the surface of it. Our superstar mid distance runners on both sides didn't go which kinda stunk. No Sydney or Athing on girls side. No Rai or Michael Norman on mens. Warholm got ran down in the 400 finals by a Belgian which was kinda fun to see. Was kinda surprised to see Hoppel break thru and win the 800m since all our 800m and 1500m guys have been in that 3-6 place range seemingly forever in the big meets.
Tara is challenging Gabby for my #1 T&F crush even with bailing on A&M for Texas. A big story to me is Cole Hocker. He’s finally healthy and steadily improving. Our 1500 team is gonna be super tough to make for Paris.
at the TEN tonight.. 10K field is so deep Nico Young, USA (debut): Young is making his 10,000 debut and is in the form of his life, having run a 12:57 NCAA 5k record in January and winning two NCAA titles last weekend in Boston. Young’s coach Mike Smith told LetsRun he thinks Young is in close to 27:00 shape — the only concern is the quick turnaround from NCAAs. Should Young hit the standard, he would be the first collegian under 27:00 (Sam Chelanga has the NCAA record at 27:08.39). He’d also be just the fourth American under 27:00 and, at 21, by far the youngest (Chris Solinsky was 25 when he did it, Galen Rupp was 25, and Fisher was 24). https://www.letsrun.com/news/2024/0...a-monson-chases-ar-karissa-schweizer-returns/
Nico just ran a collegiate record 26:52 in his 10k debut and outkicked the Olympic silver medalist Dude is unreal. Would be so sick if he ends up in Paris Spoiler
